Dropout Data and Collection Process

North Carolina General Statute 115C-12(27) requires an annual report of students dropping out of schools in the state. An "event dropout rate" is reported for each LEA and charter school in the state. This is the number of students in a particular grade range dropping out in one year divided by a measure of the total students in that particular grade range.

Results included in these documents were generated from tests administered statewide during a school year. The local schools or school systems scanned the students' answer sheets with proprietary software developed by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. The data were sent to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction where they were concatenated. The data analyses and reporting are limited to traditional public schools and charter schools. In addition, confidentiality ethics do not permit references to subgroups with less than five students.

The North Carolina End-of-Course tests were initiated in response to legislation passed by the North Carolina General Assembly – the North Carolina Elementary and Secondary Reform Act of 1984. In the 2011-12 school year, students enrolled in the following courses are required to take the North Carolina EOC tests: Algebra I, Biology, and English I.

Student Accounting

Pupil accounting data are among the most useful sources of information available to state and local administrators and to the public in general. This information provides the core of the data used in evaluation, planning, allocation of funds, and measurement of compliance with Federal and State regulations. The basic pupil accounting form used in North Carolina is the Principal's Monthly Report (PMR). There are nine reporting periods of twenty school days each. Average Daily Membership (ADM), Average Daily Attendance (ADA), Membership Last Day (MLD) and Initial Enrollment (E1 + E2) are derived from this report.
